National Occupational Standards (NOS) describe best practices by bringing together performance criteria, knowledge and skills pertaining to a job role. A set of NOSs related to a specific job role is called Qualification Pack (QP). Each NOS defines one key function in a job role.
A set of NOSs, aligned to a job role, called Qualification Packs (QPs), would be available for every job role in each sector of Food Processing Industry. These packs are pegged at various NSQF level, such as level 1 to 10 and they drive the creation of curriculum and content.
FICSI is responsible for development of QPs and NOSs and we currently have 52 NSQF aligned QPs which cover 8 sub sectors of Food Processing Industries:
